Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This is the true story of Franz Wisner, a man who thought he had it all — a high profile career and the fiancée of his dreams — when suddenly, his life turned upside down. Just days before they were to be married, his fiancée called off the wedding. Luckily, his large support network of family and friends wouldn't let him succumb to his misery. They decided Franz should have a wedding and a honeymoon anyway — there just wouldn't be a bride at the ceremony, and Franz' travel companion would be his brother, Kurt. During the "honeymoon," Franz reconnected with his brother and began to look at his life with newfound perspective. The brothers decided to leave their old lives behind them. They quit their jobs, sold all their possessions, and traveled around the world, visiting fifty-three countries for the next two years. In Honeymoon With My Brother, Franz recounts this remarkable journey, during which he turned his heartbreak into an opportunity to learn about himself, the world, and the brother he hardly knew. Review:"Wisner's narrative style is occasionally comic, but he can be serious, too....The brothers' rekindled bond makes this memoir deeply moving." Publishers Weekly Review:"Wisner's accounts of a Balinese cockfight or Trinidad's Carnival do what good travel writing should: make you want to be right then and there. And while his obligatory life-lesson passages are undeniably cheesy, they are never less than sincere." Entertainment Weekly Review:"Sandwiched between the chuckles are letters to their grandmother and short, pointed chapters on best trip advice....Humorous and heartening." Booklist Synopsis:After being jilted by his fiance, Wisner undertakes a remarkable journey to 60 countries, during which he turns his heartbreak into an opportunity to learn about himself, the world, and the brother he hardly knew. About the AuthorFranz Wisner is a writer/vagabond who, in a previous reincarnation, used to work as a lobbyist, a public relations executive, and a government press secretary. During his world journeys, he published numerous travel articles and opinion pieces, which appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, ABC News on-line, and Coast Magazine, among others. Franz and his brother, Kurt, are currently traveling the globe for their next book, also with St. Martin's Press. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
